In about phone it says I'm running 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO
The phone started telling me I have a system upgrade
I have been round the install update booting to twrp path twice
So I downloaded the .....1NO to ...2QL ota
Boot into TWRP and try to install the zip file and it says it can't do it as this device has one plus/bacon/A0001.44.2/KVT49L/XNPH2SR: User/release keys

I've come across this today (my OPO was rooted and I had TWRP installed), I was able to install the OTA via returning the OPO back to an unrooted stock build. You can easily do this via getting the 'Fastboot' zipped version of your current .....1NO build.
Once you have this, you only need to fastboot flash the following: - boot.img, recovery.img and system.img
After flashing just these three images, yes you'll loose root but you'll be able to OTA update to the ......2QL build via the normal phone method - hten if you want, you could then reflash a TWRP recovery and re-install a supersu.zip
One thing I forgot to add, which maybe helpful to others as it took me a moment to realise, both boot.img and recovery.img flash without issue, but due to it's size to flash the large system.img you'll probably need to brake it down into flashable chunks, notice the change in fastboot commands: -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img

OTAs can only be flashed through stock recovery..applicable to all devices
Hello,
on the same subject, I am looking for explanations on how to create twrp flashable files for ota updates. Do you know where I could find any resources?
Thx
I had the same issue while installing the incremental update (I got root and TWRP); I solved it simply installing the signed zip of ...2QL version which was pulled out yesterday afternoon. My only concern was about root that could be wipe away with the new installation, so I directly installed SuperSU via zip. Everything works fine till now

[MY REVIEW OF THE OFFICIAL OREO FIRMWARE AFTER ALMOST A WEEK OF USE]
-oreo battery life sucks compare to stock nougat rom
-i can notice the battery drain faster than when im on nougat
-system performance, for me 5-10% faster than on nougat, especially the in settings or swiping the notification panel, other than its the same
-gaming performance are 10-15% worse than on nougat. when i play a game called 'Dokdo', moving the ship around the ocean are smoother when im on nougat and the framerate are stable, but when i play the game on oreo, the framerate are lower and i can feel the difference when im playing on nougat and oreo. the game feels more smoother when im on nougat compare to oreo. other games performance also noticeable when i play 'Rules of Survival', i can feel the framerate are slightly smoother on nougat compare to oreo
-there's no bugs that i found so far
[MY FINAL REVIEW OF ZENFONE 3 OFFICIAL OREO FIRMWARE]
-oreo battery life is real ****, i dont even have many apps installed and the battery life is already ****
-i prefer the nougat firmware compare to oreo.
-the only thing that i like about oreo is the quick settings icon are changed, it looks cleaner and smaller compare to nougat the quick settings icons are bigger and doesn't look good
-everyday i check on https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/ hoping there's a new oreo firmware update saying 'battery life improved' or something thats all i want
*14 february guide updates*
incase you guys hasn't already know, there's a second(current latest) oreo updates from asus, the firmware is called 'Version WW-15.0410.1801.40'.
if you are on rooted oreo firmware 'Version WW-15.0410.1712.31' and you want to update to the latest oreo version and root it again. follow this steps below:
*NOTE: you can't proceed to flash the stock firmware if you're phone are rooted so you need to unroot or remove magisk root first before flashing the oreo firmware otherwise the flashing process will fail or a possible of bootloop will occur, so follow the steps below carefully*
-first, you need to remove magisk root by downloading the magisk uninstaller zip file from the magisk manager . com (no space) or from their xda page
-then flash/install the magisk uninstaller zip file from TWRP recovery
-after you flashed the uninstaller, you're phone are now unrooted. then you can proceed to flash the 'Version WW-15.0410.1801.40' firmware.
-after you flashed the 'Version WW-15.0410.1801.40' firmware your TWRP recovery will be replaced back to asus stock recovery
-so you need to reinstall TWRP recovery as usual through fastboot
-reboot your phone as usual and as you know your phone root access is currently gone since you uninstalled magisk earlier
-to root your phone back, download and install the latest magisk manager from their site or xda site
-click on download zip file, and put that magisk zip file on your SD CARD
-boot to twrp recovery
-flash the magisk zip file that are located on your SD CARD
-reboot system
-now your latest 'Version WW-15.0410.1801.40' firmware are now rooted again.
YES I KNOW IT IS SUCH A HASSLE, BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST GET THROUGH IF YOU WANT ROOT ACCESS. ANDROID IS NOT EASY.
By the way, don't go to magiskmanager<dot>com. It's not official.
Download Magisk from the official thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Careful with that site, as that's not an official distribution site for Magisk. There was a tweet from XDA regarding that site within the past few weeks. The only 100% trustworthy place to get it is from the official thread.
I'm getting better battery life on Oreo than I did on Nougat. I did do a factory reset after installing Oreo, though, so if you haven't done that it's worth a try.
You're right about the framerate issue with some games. Some that ran fine on Nougat get oddly choppy at times on Oreo. The last Oreo beta (although it had the same version number) was a heck of a lot worse than the release version, so hopefully the next update will help.
the reason why i put the magisk manager official site is because i rooted my phone by downloading both the magisk manager apk and the zip file and the app and the zip file from their official site works for rooting my phone so i think there is no harm. if you feel insecure you can just go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...mless-t3473445
Not working.
I exactly followed the steps but I could not install twrp. Stock recovery still keeps running.
However, If I use the previous version of twrp (20180203) phone cannot boot, then had to flash roms from M to O.
Edit: I tried over and over again and succeeded at last, but I do not know how exactly!

at cmd when you're phone on fastboot. after you typed "fastboot flash recovery (name of your recovery)".img and enter, make sure it says flashing successful.

GUIDE UPDATES - 14 february
Hi !
So yesterday I tried flashing TWRP but no luck.
I'm on the latest firmware (1801), bootloader unlocked, stock recovery with no root.
When I try to flash TWRP with fastboot, I get no error message but I still have the stock recovery instead of TWRP.
I tried multiple times and downloaded the file again but it doesn't work.
Any idea ?
aftee you flashed twrp through fastboot. type on "fastboot reboot" on cmd. then if your phone directs you to stock recovery instead of twrp. click on reboot system in your stock recovery. then it will brings you to twrp. i know its weird. but thats what happen to me too at first.
then if you finally got to twrp and you reboot system from twrp but your phone still brings you back to twrp recovery everytime or it stucks on asus logo (bootloop), dont panic, go to twrp and flash your stock oreo firmware that are located from ur sdcard from twrp, then when you reboot system from twrp, then your phone will boot to normal. dont worry it wont erase data.
try this. it works for me.

I've been looking for how to unlock zen 3 oroe. but i did not find it. please help me. i want to root my phone.
Here is the official unlock method.
You will not be able to get OTA updates then, but zenfone3 may not get any upgrade anyway.
I found the solution to my problem (couldn't boot into twrp after flashing it)
1-After flashing twrp, do not fastboot reboot !
2-Unplug the device
3-Power it off (long press power key)
4-Power it on into recovery mod (long press power key + low volume key)
You should end up in twrp recovery or on a screen suggesting to boot into recovery which you do
5-A message will appear asking to allow modification of twrp recovery. Swipe to allow.
6-Done !

After updating on 15.0410.1801.40, i flash TWRP through fastboot, and i get stuck in bootloop on Asus logo. I go back in TWRP,flash the 15.0410.1801.40 zip, and i remain in bootloop.
With a custom recovery, we didn't need any No Verity File Encrypt like root in Nougat? (On nougat I root my ZE552KL by following this process: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926)

if you got bootloop after trying to reboot ur phone from twrp after flashing twrp. flashing the stock oreo rom from twrp again will make your phone boot. thats how i did it. im not sure why it doesn't work for you.
we still need "no verity..." message in oreo. that no verity message appears are actually caused by your phone bootloader unlocked not because of your phone rooted.
Hello, my P20 does not want to be rooted. after updating to 9.1.0.325, I can't seem to install Magisk. I tried patching the ramdisk file then fastboot flashing it and I even tried flashing TWRP and sideloading the Magisk zip file. It always get stuck to your device is booting now. Any help?
Following.
Hello everyone, today i was updating the phone as i always do, installing magisk in the idle slot, after installing the update, and then restarting the phone.
Unfortunately this time for an oversight I restarted the phone without installing magisk in the inactive slot and I lost root permissions.
Because i don't have the trwp recovery how can I get the permissions back? Can I flash the boot image directly from the magisk app?
Now my OOS is 10.3.12 and i can't find an image boot for this version.
I hope someone can help me thank you.
You have to patch via magisk the boot.img file of the 10.3.12 rom then flash it via adb flash boot_patched.img
Hello, I had my OP7P rooted on android 11, but after updating to 11.0.6.1.GM21AA, I just couldn't get root to work.
I downloaded the OxygenOS 11.0.6.1.GM21AA from oneplus.com, extracted the boot.img, downloaded the new (supposedly with Android 11 support) TWRP (twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img), booted to the TWRP, and installed root using the magisk APK, when I booted the phone had "Android Intellegnce stopped working" all sort of apps stopped working as well and some also crashed when I tried to open them, I flashed the original boot image and after some research I saw that using Magisk Canary build might help, so I tried with it too and same result.
I tried installing root using Magisk.apk, I tried patching a boot image using Magisk (both versions) but to no avail.
Some notes:
-Using the Canary build actually rooted my phone unlike the normal Magisk, but with problems still.
-When trying to use TWRP's "Flash Current TWRP" option, it overwrite my boot image and when trying to boot to fastboot or system it booted to recovery instead.
I will be glad for any help because having an unrooted device sucks.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes (English is not my first language)
May be the first thing I'd think of trying it to disable any/all Magisk module installed.
Then, with the full OTA ROM stored in the main storage directory of your device... Basically a dirty Flash using the same OOS version you are using now and that should save the wipe/reset...
OTA Flash that and do not reboot and in Magisk manager check to see if manager is able to install Magisk as in install after OTA (?). That should work and then reboot device then verify. Don't forget to re-enable and Magisk modules...
Hope that can and will point you into the right direction.
I've not bothered with TWRP since I installed it then the next OTA went back to stock recovery. So, might be worth skipping TWRP for root as is not required so far as I can tell ... But I also have a Windows computer set up to flash via adb command alternatively.
Edit:. Think I forgot to say that the OTA update changed my TWRP back to stock recovery... But that's easy enough it change if desired

Hello, thanks for the reply, I wanna get a few things straight before doing anything that have the potential to brick my phone.
1. My phone rn isn't rooted, so I cant uninstall or disable Magisk modules, I CAN root my device but it is very unstable and im not sure doing it is a good idea, maybe there's another way to disable them?
2. What do you mean by dirty flash? Using the device update section and selecting the official OOS version I downloaded from OnePlus.com?
1) may be forget about root for now as that's probably not the priority at this time. Getting a stable operating system is the priority. And skip TWRP (don't see the point of if being needed at this step either).
2) my best guess is that I've used oxygen updater from the play store to download the full update (not incremental update) that exactly matches the one you have installed now - or search here and find the match to download or used the OnePlus cite to get the file. Then once that is downloaded to your device - go to settings/system/system updates/local update and install and reboot. That's the dirty Flash as in don't wipe/reset your device either before/after the installation. I'm hoping that this method will clean up both the recovery and boot images to stock and hopefully restore stability to your device without the wipe/reset.
Hope that helps and restore the device stability without TWRP nor root.
Hi wugga3, thanks again for your time, unfortunately a stable device is not my problem, I have managed to make a stable boot image by downloading the OOS version from the Oneplus website and flashing the boot image after attempting to root my device unsuccessfully.
My problem right now is that my device isn't rooted and I can't manage to root it using the methods I mentioned above, I currently have an unrooted stable OOS version 11.0.6.1.GM21AA.

Here's an Orangefox prerooted OxygenOS 11 boot.img that works on 11 and 12. Just boot to fastboot, connect to a PC open a command prompt in the same directory and type..
fastboot flash boot boot-v9-root24.img...
Also it's easier to just flash both slots by this commands..
Fastboot flash boot_a boot-v9-root24.img and then fastboot flash boot_b boot-v9-root24.img...
I dual boot with this version of twrp and here's a solid boot img. You can flash it also in recovery or with "partition manager off play store. Check it out.
Fixed!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, which I might didn't fully consider in a rush...
The solution was to root my phone, reboot it all shaky and try to disable all Magisk modules (took me 2 tries because of the crashes and stuff), then flash again the original boot image, rebooting, creating a rooted boot.img using Magisk and flashing it.

First of all thanks for the help but I ended up fixing it in another way.
Second of all, not really related but do you know if I can use this recovery on OP7Pro A12 custom Rom? (and flash it)
